Jerry, found this site for 360 parts.
www.auto-spot.net
Cool pictures but who knows what they have written?
Jerry, have you bought anything from them?
Any other parts suppliers around the world for our Honda's?
Would be nice when we use up all our NOS stuff.
I am sure shipping and the exchange rate is going to make the parts expensive.

Over seas parts?
Re: Over seas parts?
sorry, i thought everyone would figure out how to translate the sites but here is the link for it translated
http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... o-spot.net
for currency conversion just type the yen amount into google as "1000 yen" and it will convert it to dollars, currently its about 11.5 dollars per 1000 yen.
i have not purchased anything from them yet as i just found the site. but i did find it would be easiest to use a 3rd party broker for such purchases such as this company http://www.ussjp.com/service_shop/onlin ... rvice.html
from what i understand the japanese do not like to send stuff overseas or to non Japanese speaking persons. I guess the government actually encourages use of the third party services to promote jobs in the country , just was i heard from my father who was stationed there. down side is they charge fees for such services of 8-15% but they do have some nice parts. i've been eyeing the twin port head with the dual carb set up .. ive seen 400cc engines produced out there with 60+hp so makes me think a 70hp 600cc could be a reality. did i mention the 8000 rpm they spin up too ... but im not even near that point in my project, for now its just an adventure to find what i can get for my car ..

Re: Over seas parts?
Jerry, I have never looked outside the US for parts.
Learn something new everyday.
I wonder why no Honda people in the US have made contact with over seas suppliers and then sell these parts? Or maybe get Honda owners together and do a group order?
Opel suppliers in Germany have been doing this for years.
Maybe too small of a market?
It would be nice to get the high wear items like cam tensioner parts, primary drive parts, rocker arm shafts....
Thanks again for the info.
